I really appreciate the info. While reading it I couldn't help but laugh because my PEB didn't go as described as that form. One thing that really bugs me is that there was an informal and formal. I was not notified of either and simply told what their findings were. I will be heading to see a...

ScoutCC I have looked through my folder and can't find 635-40. When I looked for an example online it says that version issue date wasn't until 2006. I was medically separated in 2005. Also found a sticky note saying they were waiting for my ortho docs report, but another statement said my...

I would really like to change my VA. I moved right in the middle of Atlanta and Birmingham VA's. I am in the middle disability claims and a review for my severance pay recoupment. I paid mine off in 2011 and after a recent claim was completed they started the recoupment again and said I paid...

I will have to check my folder again and I've requested for all my service records but I was told they were MISPLACED during the transition from paper copy to digital copy. I ended up getting a couple forms but they were just about my entry and MOS. However what I do have, stated on the findings...

scoutCC, So was it required that they do an actual evaluation or can they base their decision off of medical records?

In the email mine stated 10 months for them to review and adjudicate, but in the attachment there was no time frame. I also wondered if they had a hard finding my service records because when I requested them I received a letter stating they were MISPLACED during the time they switched from...

Oh and for the MMRB I sat in front 5 or 6 officers and SGM I believe, stated why I wanted to stay in and how could I improve my back and current limitations, but never saw a doc. Thank you for correcting me on the acronyms, it has been so long. The MMRB is what I requested the first time I was...

Yes after I started reading everyone's cases I was in shock because mine was different. To start I wasn't informed of the right to appeal and there was a separate sheet that showed only my back listed, nothing else. After being told i was med board I never saw another doctor except for routine...

Ok this has been boggling my brain looking at the forums because it sounds so different than what happened when i got out. When i was medically discharged i never went to a special doc visit. My ortho doc simply told me i was being med board and had to wait for my orders. My last 3 months i...

Just because they give a time frame such as 15 months doesn't mean it will. Mine is at 14 months now and they said another 10 months. So be hopeful but don't count on it and don't stress yourself over it.

Yeah my first guess was they lost it. My appeal with the VA took 6 years and that was in 2011. By the looks of completion dates only being done in certain months, I will assume mine could be done in November.

I asked a similar question already and their response was there are no guarantees on how long it will take to process.

What could possibly be wrong

I received a letter stating the board received my request back in Dec 2013. I emailed them for an update, normal automated response in early Jan this year. Then I get an email a week ago stating they've received all my records and the review will take 10 months. I've been seeing roughly 15...
